Most beautiful 125s EVER

[ital916]

I was keeping up with bike news on the net when I spotted these beauties that are now for sale in australia. They are rough 6K australia and are available in many different models. They are all 125s and megelli is a european brand. Cor the learner market it becoming awesome once again with the release of the new style ninja 250r as well as an upcoming yamaha 250 and australia has just recieved shipment of the new yzr125! (the most gorgeous small capacity bike seen yet!).

Feast your eyes on these puppies.....

There is the naked, supermoto and sports models.

[ital916]

naked one now

[ital916]

and the supermoto

[Rodney007]

nice, reminds me of the cagiva 125 2-smokers,!!!

[Hahn]

nice find.

Hope they come with a nice 4 cylinder engine, then maybe the old cbrgsxzxfzrrrrrrr's will come down in price...

Not cost effective building inline 4 small capacity lumps, well that is what I am told. It is a great time to get into biking with little rippers like these coming onto the market.

God the mito is a gorgeous bike (the new 125 funnily called the 525 is the white one in the pics).

The cagiva 500 super mono concept is also supposedly progressing well.

I believe these bikes are produced by Qlink? There's a 250cc version as well. The motard looks like a barrel of fun :2thumbsup

The thing I want to know about all these new 125cc bikes is this: Where is the fucking power? 20 years ago the 250cc 2 strokes were making 60bhp, surely with more modern technology they could easily make 30bhp out of a 125cc 2 stroke.

they aint two strokes :pinch:

They are four strokes

Picture this, Suzuki making the suzuki gsxr 250 09 with the same frame, rear tyre, suspension as the 06 gsxr 600 and the same exhaust with a inline 4 engine that can compete with a cbr 250. Then a r6-250 version, zx6r-250.
:drool::drool::drool::drool: I had a dream.

Mind you it would ruin it for 600 riders yeh? Being people might mistake them for a 250 noob so they have to pull a power wheelie ta show em whats up besides the sky.

Errr, not! 20 years ago 250 two strokes were making 45-50HP, if the planets were aligned and Mavis had both shoes on.

Modern 125s like Aprilia's RS125 ARE making more than 30HP, 33 in fact, but what you seem to have forgotten is that two strokes are effectively banned thanks to "Global Warming".

In a couple of years the only Two Stroke engines will be diesel behemoths.

[Pussy]

This doesn't look too shabby, either....

Nah the bike looks to skimpy it aint got no cushion for tha pushin would be better if its more busty, tyre size look like a 160/120 the exhaust is different, but the paint scheme looks good. Id put my leg over it but wouldnt return the next morning.

[CookMySock]

Hey Waikato Yamaha is selling new YZF-R125's.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=245100801

Who the hell would pay 9k for one beats me. It needs a little 250 dirt bike engine in it.

The world is turning to crap. :crybaby:

Two strokes are coming back. They're in the works!

and the bike you describe will cost just as much as a 600....

Where?! Show!

[Okey Dokey]

"Handsome is as handsome does" is the old saying, and if you go by that I reckon my trusty TF 125 is a stunner. We have saved many ewes and lambs out in the paddock together.

[imdying]

Errr, not! 20 years ago 250 two strokes were making 45-50HP, if the planets were aligned and Mavis had both shoes on.88 RGV250, 58hp, 89 RGV250 59hp (VJ21s), VJ22s crept up to 62hp. Restricted Jap import versions, 45-40hp (later years were lower).

Yes, had this argument before. Claimed crank figures from the Japanese are done in ps, which is slightly less force than bhp. So you pick up a couple of "extra" hp. I've not seen a standard two stroke from that era bolted to a dyno making its "claimed" hp at the rear wheel ever, without significant changes to porting, compression ratio, and decent spannies.

[imdying]

Sure they have, just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean it isn't so.

[SMOKEU]

Yeah I know that, I just don't see the point in trying to make a 125cc 4 stroke sports bike.

[Str8 Jacket]

Actually... You me and Malcolm should have a beer or few together one night. One of his favourite topics... :whistle:

That's because quoted power is usually in BHP, not WHP.

[imdying]

That's because quoted power is usually in BHP, not WHP.You might want to check the meaning of those abbreviations, he's correct in what he said.

Basically the biggest problem with them is that when they're not properly maintained, peak performance drops rapidly. Plugs, clean exhausts, clean airfilters, jetting for atmospheric conditions etc etc, all affect the output of a carb'd two stroke far more than a comparable 4 stroke (say in this example, a CBR250 or ZXR250). This is why they're generally regarded as an enthusiast bike, rather than a general consumer one.

As far as 125cc four stroke sports bikes... you should PM Dangerous and see if you can arrange a ride for a bucket meet... arse loads of fun to be had on a small four stroke. If you like, you can take in a days minimoto racing with the guys on one of my spare bikes... a whole heap of 2 stroke 50cc fun to be had there :yes:

[R6_kid]

I saw someone riding a red/white/black Yamaha R125 today... had to do a double take as I didn't think they had been released here yet but sure enough it was the YZF-R125!!!

[metalslug]

wonder how it performs though...better than the CBR125?.. looks awesome but seemed to be really nimble. They really should have made the 250 version :mad:

You dont like em with some cushion? I could just make all her body fat as my sleeping bag...........125kg of pure warmth thats the only x I know on a woman xxL mmmmm now im getting all hot and bothered. No I dont like fat chicks their disgusting.



A 125kg 250 would be nice.

ask anyone who came on the wednesday night ride about how it goes;)

[ital916]

ask anyone who came on the wednesday night ride about how it goes;)

the later tdr250s were the first of the supermotos, fukin rocket ships. Would love to have one but cant afford the barrels, pistons and rings....especially with a stage three tuning kit from that two stroke guru in the uk.

Tdr = a real two stroke ripper
